Fender Player Jazzmaster Pau Ferro Fingerboard Electric Guitar 3-Color Sunburst

purchased this on a sunday and it arrived on tuesday played good out of box but the fretboard was dry and the action was a little high one restring and basic setup later and it plays amazing well and sounds great with reverb but aslo fuzz

The fretboard was dry as a bone and not set up properly from the factory.

I love Jazzmasters! I was so excited to get this guitar. It sounds so big warm and beautiful. Unfortunately, not long after I had it, it kept going out of tune because the saddles vibrate loose with not much play time. Also, the neck pickup constantly vibrates loose and I have to take the strings and the pickup off to fix it. A month after having the pickup switch began having a short in it making it unreliable. I'm so disappointed because this was going to be my main guitar that I gig and record with. I actually got a Sterling MusicMan Albert Lee to be a backup but it has become my primary guitar because it's really a much better quality guitar and they are supposedly not even on par with each other. I wish that either Guitar Center or Fender would do something about it. But I've had it for a year and I feel stuck with a lemon and I never want to buy a Fender again. At least not one made recently. I've heard people say Fender's quality has been slipping and it turns out to be true for me.

Started playing a year and half ago so I don't want to give the impression of someone who knows guitars. That said, however, I've learned how to do a few tweaks and adjustments. Some reviews have mentioned a buzz. I heard it almost immediately after tuning the strings. It's not fret buzz - it's when a saddle screw comes loose on the bridge. Just take close look and you can tell if any the screws are protruding out. There's a small allen wrench that came in bag along tremelo bar that is exactly for adjusting these screws. It's not a big deal. This is a well made guitar and like most any guitar, it will benefit you to learn basic maintenance so you don't write cringy reviews complaining that the guitar isn't perfect. Such a good design with a modern set-up (HH) which really has its own unique sound apart from a Strat or Tele.

My wife surprised me with this for my birthday and I couldn't believe it then and I still can't believe it now! One thing a guitar should do is inspire the player to create music. I can say that this guitar does exactly that. I've never been one who wants to learn popular songs to play or be in a cover band so a guitar, for me, should be something inspiring, with songs in it. I love this thing. No it's not a boutique guitar, but it's a great tool for creativity and is definitely worth the price. I'm new to humbuckers but these are rad! They are not super high output but they sound awesome. I was genuinely surprised how bright and twangy the single coil setting is, which makes for a very versatile guitar. Has that Jazzmaster jangle too so it's not going be good at EVERYTHING, but it can handle most of what I throw at it. I love my Jazzmaster. No it's not a "classic" one with the rhythm circuit but I don't care because it's got so much character. Good job, Fender.

I got this for a dynamite price listed as "open box, "blemished", but I can see no dings or flaws whatsoever. Brand new, too--what a steal, at about 40 % off, very nearly. Keep your eyes open as these occasionally pop up (under the radar) I'm laughing all the way to the bank, har har har, hee hee Five stars * * * * *
